Still, as I said before, there will be plenty of other artists work to see and maybe purchase.
That TMA does look good though...

Actually most of the other art there will be terrible and expensive.

It expressly said 4pm though as I checked it this morning when I read queues were forming.
Feel sorry for the people who stuck to this.

Too true; but viewing poor art is an important means of determining your personal tastes - what you do and don't like...

Nick Walker • The Empire's State, by dantefires on Jan 13, 2009 16:14:50 GMT 1, just got back from bdc and missed out on this one. i was told the last place went about 1 ish, so missed out by an hour.
there are 100 prints to be sold on the night, brp had already taken down the names for collection and payment at the stand once they open the doors, with the remaining going to overeas lottery (over 400 applicants) and cover any damages in post.
i doubt very much brp would blacklist those from buying the print if they have been lining up since this morning, if they do, id like to know and i would be straight back down there.
having paid for the preview ticket (which cannot be reimbursed), cost of travel and losing a half day at work, this has cost me a few quid.....and i dont even have a print...b*llcks..

As I got there, they were giving out the receipts.
However, looking on the bright side, I am in the Dragon Bar having a beer and have nothing to do until the doors open at 6pm.
Looking forward to seeing the other stuff there. Will upload pics from the train home later.

Nick Walker • The Empire's State, by Heavyconsumer on Jan 13, 2009 17:32:05 GMT 1, So have any of the overseas punters heard anything back from BRP yet? I emailed them upon hearing of the release and have not heard back. Does this mean I was too slow or that they haven't had time to respond to emails yet? A lot of people I know here in New York are after this and they haven't heard anything either. Thankfully this is one bunfight I can watch from the sidelines.  I thought about framing it but decided it looked fine on it's own.
Thanks for responding AH and I think you made the right choice not framing that piece. It looks very nice and works well imo up against the white wall. Surely they should have offered you number 1 or an AP or something, seeing as you bought the OG, no? Would have been a nice touch imo. (If they do, don't be frightened to let me know by PM!!!  ) ;D

Galleries don't keep some of the numbered edition for damages, if the edition is 175 they'll print 200-210 get them all signed and the number the first 175 and keep the rest for spares.
If you receive number 56 damaged and return, that number does not disappear from the edition, it is simply destroyed and a new one numbered 56 and sent as a replacement.
Maybe 75 won't be for the overseas raffle as Mr walker may have a few for his friends but i'm sure most will.
